A good educational tool by Peter Volberding, Jun 13, 2008 (2:46pm)

This bill, along with S. 432, aims to provide $10 million in funding for pre-dialysis education. It’s sponsors point to the ultimate financial savings- the education of patients, which helps them with lifestyle changes and alternative methods of treatment, ultimately reduces the costs to Medicare. As is said, preventative health is always the best and cheapest way at reducing costs and promoting a healthy citizenry. The lack of pork and overwhelming benefit to overall health makes this a decent piece of legislation.
